Recommendation

· Outstanding staff comments be addressed, as noted in the staff report to the Planning & Zoning Commission
· Lot 1 of Block 5 be made open space (due to proximity to the gas well site)
· The wood fence along the northern perimeter of the development be increased from 6' to 8' (due to adjacency to the gas well site & access road)
· The masonry wall along Mitchell Road be continued west along River Birch to the enhanced entryway
One of the commissioners also requested that the applicant increase the percentage of J-swing lots and another commissioner requested that more representative photos of the 50’ product be included in the applicant’s presentation. There was also discussion about the open space areas and some concern about the impact of the development on the school district.
The applicant is requesting to table first reading to November 25, 2019 to allow them more time to make changes to their plans and address outstanding staff comments, particularly the required alignment study for the surrounding roadways and acknowledgement and agreement from the surrounding property owners.
